  Lost Lobster Cottage is absolutely gorgeous, I especially loved all of the lobster themed decorations and mugs! I have historically looked for properties in the Warkworth area but wanted to find a new location for exploring a different part of the coast. Lost Lobster has all the character and charm of what I have come to love about booking with Coquet Cottages. It really is such a lovely cottage, so warm and well equipped. It felt like a family home rather than a holiday home. The kitchen is amazing, even down to the recipe books. The shower and bath are just such a luxury and I made the most of a good deep bath to soothe my tired legs after long beach walks. The beds are super comfortable and it was so nice to sleep in bedding like the ones I have at home. The front and back porches made it so easy make sure our dogs were clean and not bringing sand and muck into the rest of house. Coquet Cottages will always be my go to company for my trips to Northumberland because the standard and attention to detail of all your cottages is beyond brilliant.

  We stayed here for a week. Lost Lobster is a great find, the best of many cottages we have visited in Northumberland. Everything we could possibly need was provided and the property was immaculately clean. Fixtures, fittings and utensils are high quality and the cottage is so comfortable. Two lovely warm bedrooms, one twin and one king size. The lounge is large and comfortable with two gorgeous sofas, log burner and a smart tv. The kitchen, also a good size, it had all we needed. The garden is a good size and fully enclosed. Perfect! This cottage felt more like a home than a holiday cottage. It’s location in Embleton is a few minutes walk from two pubs and a small shop for basic provisions. Our favourite pub in the area is The Ship Inn in Low Newton, five minutes drive or half an hours walk over the dunes or along the beach for the best crab sandwiches in the world … in our opinion. All in all a fabulous cottage, if we could give it more than five stars we would! A credit to its owner and housekeeper. We will return.

  The cottage was clean and tidy but was surprised the kitchen was so small.

  I was disappointed with the welcome pack, obviously bought from some supplier to hospitality - little sealed packs of coffee, tea, milk and biscuits as found in hotel bedrooms. My usual experience is cottages is lovely baskets of wine, crisps biscuits etc - something that looks like a bit of thought has been put into it. The same with the box of cleaning products - I didn’t know it was possible to get such a tiny bottle of washing up liquid ( probably contained a tablespoon of liquid). When you pay a lot of money for a cottage it is nice to have some effort put into the nice little extras that are the norm in most cottages. No visitors book in the cottage, which is always useful for recommendations on where to eat etc. Alnmouth itself was lovely- beautiful beach and nice dog friendly local eatery’s. However I wouldn’t consider returning to this cottage as I felt it was overpriced for what was actually provided.

  A really cosy and pleasant place to stay. All amenities were of a high standard and we had all we needed to cook Christmas dinner successfully. The proximity of the Co-op was a novelty to us and proved to be very useful as it was open late. The town is delightful and the beaches are fabulous. We had a lovely walk in the Cheviots on Christmas Eve and had an enjoyable visit to Berwick and walked the walls. Also we found St Abbs just over the border a wonderful little spot with delightful beaches. Howick Hall near Alnwick is a great day out but was not open when we stayed, we have visited it on another occasion. Would recommend the cottage unreservedly.

  his is our third or fourth visit to Ginnel Cottage so we obviously like it! It is well-equipped to a high standard. Lots of crockery & cutlery. As with all Grace Darling cottages we have used, it is very clean. The welcome pack was quite extensive and appreciated. Two keys are provided which Ifibd really helpful when we want to do different things yet without bothering about key codes. Parking is okay with a little consideration. Location is good both for the town and for the nearby cliff walk.Communication from Grace Darling was excellent with useful updates. This was a break deferred from last year and worth the wait.
